Monthly evidence snapshot · checked August 4, 2026

What the published dollars buy — before runtime claims.

Six portable power stations from the current Power Preflight catalog, compared from official manufacturer pages. This is a published-spec and displayed-price snapshot, not a hands-on test or a measured-efficiency ranking.

Read this first

A dated comparison, not a permanent price list.

Promotional prices and stock labels can change minutes after a check. Sold-out prices stay visibly labeled, contradictory availability stays “unclear,” and a missing current price stays blank. EcoFlow’s U.S. DELTA 2 URL now redirects to the DELTA 3, so this snapshot does not reuse an older DELTA 2 price.

No single ratio names a winner. Capacity value, inverter output, surge headroom, portability, support, and actual availability answer different buying questions.

August 2026 snapshot

Published specification and price ratios

“Planning Wh” applies the same common 85% × 90% = 76.5%scenario to every label. It is not measured conversion efficiency or tested usable energy.

A dash means the price-based metric was intentionally not calculated. Published surge is included only when an official source explicitly labels a surge, peak, or instantaneous output; a boost-mode claim alone is not substituted.

Reproducible method

Three ratios, one disclosed scenario.

  1. Dollars per 100 label Wh = displayed direct USD price ÷ label Wh × 100.
  2. Dollars per 100 planning Wh uses label Wh × 85% AC × 90% after-reserve. The 76.5% result is a common scenario, not measured conversion efficiency, battery health, or a promise of delivered energy.
  3. Continuous W per 100 label Wh = published continuous AC watts ÷ label Wh × 100. It describes the output-to-capacity ratio, not inverter quality.

Ratios are rounded to two decimals after calculation. Taxes, shipping, coupons, member-only discounts, third-party prices, bundles, and affiliate prices are excluded. Seehow Power Preflight estimates runtime for the broader model.

Official pages, field by field.

Every source was last checked on . Product and specification links are separated when the manufacturer publishes them in different places.

EcoFlow

RIVER 3

The official page displayed $199 and an Add to cart control, but also showed Sold out and pre-order language. Price is recorded; availability is intentionally marked ambiguous.

Price checked
Specs checked

Displayed direct price and technical specifications from the official U.S. product page; contradictory stock language is preserved rather than resolved by inference.

Jackery

Explorer 300 Plus

The official U.S. product page displayed $299.99 and “Sold Out.” The ratio records that display; it is not a currently buyable offer.

Price checked
Specs checked

Price and availability from the official U.S. product page; capacity, continuous output, and instantaneous output from Jackery Support.

Jackery

Explorer 600 Plus

The official U.S. product page displayed $429 against $499 and “Sold Out.” The ratio records the displayed sale price, not an available offer.

Price checked
Specs checked

Price and availability from the official U.S. product page; 632.3Wh, 800W continuous, and 1,600W instantaneous output from Jackery Support.

EcoFlow

DELTA 2

The official U.S. DELTA 2 product URL redirected to the DELTA 3 on August 4, 2026. No current DELTA 2 direct price is used.

Price checked
Specs checked

Current direct price unavailable because the official U.S. product URL redirects to its successor; specifications remain available in EcoFlow’s official DELTA 2 manual PDF.

Anker

SOLIX C1000

The official product page loads its visible price client-side; its current structured Product offer reported $449 USD and InStock.

Price checked
Specs checked

Price and availability from the official page’s structured Product offer; capacity and output values from the same page’s technical specifications.

Jackery

Explorer 2000 v2

The official U.S. product page displayed $799 against $1,499; the base product endpoint reported inventory available at the observation time.

Price checked
Specs checked

Price, availability, label capacity, continuous output, and surge output from the official U.S. product page and its product endpoint.

Freshness policy

Monthly snapshots, no silent history rewrites.

Freshness

Before each monthly release, re-open every official manufacturer source, re-check price type and availability, and regenerate the CSV from this typed snapshot. Promotional prices may change at any time.

Corrections

Factual corrections update the page and CSV together, preserve the original observation date, and add a dated correction note. Ordinary price changes belong in the next monthly snapshot and do not rewrite this one.

Corrections logged for this release: None.
